That's pretty much the end of the year.

The people of Annam happily finished setting off firecrackers and hung up Spring Festival couplets, scattered and scattered.

For mortals, the Chinese New Year has become a matter of their bones, and for cultivators, they are often separated from their families for a long time, but the New Year is mostly a luxury.

Although most of the monks in Annam come from the territory of Annam, there are very few in the city of Annam, and these monks are often not too old, and some monks may think of their families in distant places during the Mid-Autumn Festival or the New Year, but that's all.

There is a more remote tavern in the city, called the Ome Tavern.

The Ome Tavern stands on the side of the street, and the decoration is not very good, but it is a little old, except for some old customers, few new customers come here to drink.

Plum wine is strong and strong, not a good wine, the aftertaste is only bitter except for spicy, more than 100 years ago the plum tavern was here, and the taste of plum wine has remained unchanged for a hundred years.

The tavern owner was a fat man who was smiling all day, about forty or fifty years old, he cultivated in the early stage of Qi refining, and he kept watch in the tavern all day long, and he didn't see any wives and heirs.

I don't know when He Ping suddenly developed such a habit of drinking.

As soon as he drank, he would sit in the same place in this tavern for an afternoon, and the Ome Tavern was completely different from the rest of the taverns, only deserted, and deserted all day long.

He Ping still has no news of Yan Xiqin, she seems to have evaporated from the world, and He Ping has one more regret in this life.

Since Yan Xiqin left, He Ping's world has only been left with cultivation, he doesn't blame Yan Xian, Yan Mingdu, in the face of the proposal of the overhaul, who can refuse, maybe he can use this to win over a major repair, and the revenge of their Yan family is also a good thing.

In the past month, He Ping has experienced a burning divine consciousness by being pulled into it by the fire spirit bead, but He Ping is now a second-grade divine consciousness, and the burning with such power does not even make He Ping feel severe pain.

"He Daoyou!" He Ping was stopped by a shout, it was a monk with a square face.

"It turned out to be Gu Daoyou," He Ping came back to his senses and said with a smile, "What is the matter with Gu Daoyou's trip?

The real name of this monk surnamed Gu is Gu Yunji, and he is also a monk in the early stage of Qi refining, and He Ping's acquaintance with him is quite coincidental.

Gu Yunji is also a monk from Yishui, and he also has the habit of drinking a glass of green plum wine every day, and he met He Ping after coming and going.

"He Daoyou's words are wrong," Gu Yunji sat in front of He Ping with a glass of green plum wine, and tasted it in a small sip, "Can't you come to find He Daoyou if you have nothing to do?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and after today, it will be a new year. ”

"How long has it been since Gu Daoyou came to Annan?" He Ping raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, and asked in a low voice.

"Thirty years, thirty years. A smile appeared on Gu Yunji's face, and he also drank all the wine in the cup, "It's been thirty years, doesn't He Daoyou have any relatives in Yishui? You are so young, your relatives should still be alive, it is better to go back and take a look during the Chinese New Year." ”

He Ping only smiled and shook his head.

The tavern owner was called to fill the wine for the two of them.

Gu Daoyou just said it, what is the news. ”

"Or He Daoyou understands me," Gu Yunji smiled, paused and said, "Recently, there is indeed news about the fire, but I haven't heard much about the spiritual fire you said, I only know the news of the golden blazing flame." ”

"Golden Blazing Flame?" He Ping became interested, he was so persistent in pursuing the spiritual fire, naturally it was also to fill the fire spirit bead fire pit to hone his divine sense.

At this point, it is difficult for mortal fire or even ordinary monks' fire spirit balls to cause too much sharpening effect on He Ping's divine consciousness, and only by finding the heaven and earth spiritual fire can it continue to sharpen his divine consciousness.

He Ping's divine consciousness can now be about two zhang and two feet of the second-grade divine consciousness, far from the limit of twenty zhang in the early stage of qi refining, but when he turned his divine consciousness into a product, he did not reach twenty-two zhang, but was firmly limited to twenty zhang, which must be the limit of the Heavenly Dao.

"It's the Golden Blazing Flame," Gu Yunji took another sip of wine proudly before he said, "In three days, there will be a small trade fair in the Eastern District, and you can also participate in the early stage of Qi refining, and among the monks who participated in the trade fair is one surnamed Zheng, who is pregnant with Jin Blazing, and I heard that he is going to exchange it for some spirit stones." ”

"At that time, you will have to bother the ancient Taoist friends to lead the way. He Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, the golden flame is a relatively common fire, although it is far from the spiritual fire level mentioned by Zhu Ling, but it must be enough to sharpen He Ping's divine sense.

Flames like the Golden Blazing Flame that have not reached the level of spiritual fire are called sub-spiritual fires, and there are very few spiritual fires between heaven and earth, but the number of sub-spiritual fires is numerous.

"Naturally, naturally. Gu Yunji laughed, straightened the clothes in front of him, and asked He Ping, "He Daoyou, you are not a fire cultivator, why do you want to seek this spiritual fire? Isn't it for alchemy? I have to persuade He Daoyou, don't do this, alchemy is all a loss!"

"Why do you say this?" Although He Ping had no intention of becoming an alchemist, as far as he knew, the alchemist's profits were quite a lot, and the price difference between the alchemy materials and the pills was more than several times.

"He Daoyou doesn't really plan to go to alchemy, right?" Gu Yunji looked at He Ping with a surprised expression, "I originally thought that He Daoyou was just planning to transfer to the Fire Cultivation Technique, and with the assistance of the Golden Blazing Flame, the conversion to the Fire Cultivation would be much faster, and the cultivation would not drop too much." ”

For a Qi Refining Cultivator, it is absolutely impossible to absorb the spiritual fire into the body, because the Qi Refining Cultivator's dantian can never bear the power of the spiritual fire, even if it is only a sub-spiritual fire, it can burn the Qi Refining Cultivator who wants to contain it to the ground.

Therefore, the spiritual fire is usually only used for other purposes, and cannot be used to enhance the fighting power of the fire monks.

Alchemy is the most commonly used place for spiritual fire, and the pill refined with spiritual fire not only has a high rate of becoming a pill, but even the quality is much higher than that of ordinary fire.

In addition to alchemy, it is needed by other cultivators when they switch to the fire practice method.

"I've heard that alchemists aren't good at earning spirit stones, why do Gu Daoyou treat them like clogs?"

"Then you have to become an alchemist," Gu Yunji said to He Pinggui bitterly, "Alchemists are so rare, isn't it precisely because you have to make hundreds or thousands of alchemy attempts to become an alchemist? ”

"If there is no one behind them, how can ordinary people have so many spirit stones to accumulate experience, so I say that alchemy is not advisable. ”

Only then did He Ping know why, which is also reasonable, in the business of alchemy, if you are a little careless, you will not become a Dan.

"Gu Daoyou, don't worry, I don't have any plans for alchemy yet, I just like this spiritual fire. He Ping snorted.

Gu Yunji glanced at He Ping suspiciously, and muttered, "What a weird fetish is it to like spiritual fire, but it's better than liking alchemy." ”
